Accommodation Scams in Brasov

Fake or off-platform accommodation booking

Scam listings for Brașov apartments use stock or AI-generated photos and fake addresses, or a 'host' asks you to pay by bank transfer outside the booking platform for a better price. Victims arrive to find the apartment doesn't exist, is already occupied, or is far smaller and shabbier than advertised, with the deposit gone. Because Brașov demand spikes around castle-tour season, pressure-to-book tactics are common.
